87 revisions narrating this project's build-out become one file that creates the schema in a single step. They cost nothing at runtime — all 86 upgrade steps ran in 0.2s (note #3260) — so this is a presentation change, not a performance one: a new installer should not inherit our development history to stand up a database. Deleted: 87 revisions (6,052 lines), the 10 tests/test_migration_*.py files (483 lines) that asserted intermediate states and backfills which no longer exist, and backend/app/utils/artist_backfill.py — the only live module a migration imported, with no other consumer anywhere. That last one satisfies the operator's separate request to inline it into 0008 and delete the module; the squash removes both outright. THE REVISION ID IS "0087", NOT "0001", ON PURPOSE. It is the id of the last revision collapsed, so an existing database is already at head and `alembic upgrade head` does nothing. The alternative is `alembic stamp` against live data, and stamp validates NOTHING — it writes a version string whether or not the schema matches, so a wrong baseline surfaces later, via the next real migration, with no clean way back. This removes that operation rather than making it safe. Future revisions run from 0088. Four things are hand-written because SQLAlchemy metadata does not carry them, and none fail at generation time: 1. CREATE EXTENSION vector — the VECTOR columns cannot be created without it, so it is ordered first in upgrade(). 2. CREATE EXTENSION tsm_system_rows — surfaces only when the random sample query runs. 3. the HNSW index on image_record.siglip_embedding, raw SQL because create_index cannot express USING hnsw (... vector_cosine_ops). The quietest of the four: everything works, similarity search just stops using an index. 4. import pgvector.sqlalchemy.vector — autogenerate EMITS pgvector.sqlalchemy.vector.VECTOR references without importing it, so the generated file dies with NameError on first run. The candidate came out of CI (run 4967) as checksummed base64 rather than a plain cat, because run 4964's cat was truncated mid-line inside a column definition with the step still green — 29 tables instead of 42, and it looked entirely plausible. Verified here: 56,582 bytes, sha256 471acfca69c0…, 42 tables, 66 indexes, 42 drops. NOT YET PROVEN against the old chain. baseline.yml does that, and it is step 2's gate; this commit does not claim the schemas match.
FabledCurator
Self-hosted media curation — gallery, ML tagging, and subscription-driven downloading in one app. Part of the FabledSword family.
Combines what was ImageRepo (gallery, ML, importer) and GallerySubscriber (gallery-dl wrapper, subscriptions, credential capture) into a single product.
Status
In production. main is continuously deployed — every merge to main builds
and publishes :latest images, so whatever is on main is what is running.
Day-to-day work happens on dev, which publishes :dev images.
Versions and tags
Three image tags exist, and no others:
| Tag | Branch | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
:latest |
main |
Production. Moves on every merge. |
:c-<sha> |
main |
Immutable — the rollback unit, all three images together. |
:dev |
dev |
The rolling test channel. Moves on every push. |
There are deliberately no version tags. Nothing pins one, and a per-build
name nobody reads is upkeep for a model FC does not run (family rule 145; the
reasoning is note #3127 §5). Rolling back is docker pull …:c-<sha>.
Each artifact still has a version, derived rather than chosen: the commit time
of the newest change to that artifact's own shipped files, as
YYYY.MM.DD.HHMM UTC (rule 148). Four artifacts, four independent versions —
a push touching only agent/ re-versions the agent and leaves web and ml
alone, and CI skips the builds whose content did not move.
Because no registry name carries it, the running instance's own report is the
only answer to "which build is this?". The foot of Settings shows
FabledCurator 2026.08.29.0201 · dev, and /api/health returns the same two
fields.
Release tags are optional bookmarks — FC went twelve weeks without one and
nothing was wrong. Pushing v<version> publishes a Forgejo release listing the
commits since the previous tag; it builds no image.
What's in here
Five deployable pieces, built by .forgejo/workflows/build.yml:
| Piece | Built from | Image | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web / workers | Dockerfile |
fabledcurator |
Quart API + the built Vue SPA in one image. entrypoint.sh picks the role: web, worker, scheduler. The maintenance-long service is a second worker pinned to the long-running maintenance queue. |
| ML worker | Dockerfile.ml |
fabledcurator-ml |
Same app, plus requirements-ml.txt — tagging and embedding models that run in-container. |
| GPU agent | agent/Dockerfile |
fabledcurator-agent |
Optional desktop-GPU worker (agent/). Leases jobs over HTTP only — never touches the database or Redis. Run it for a burst, stop it to reclaim the card. See agent/README.md. |
| Firefox extension | extension/ |
signed XPI | MV3 extension: pushes platform session cookies into FC and adds a creator as a Source in one click. AMO-signed on both dev and main (one signature per extension change, shared by the two channels), bundled into that channel's web image and served from Settings → Maintenance. See extension/README.md. |
| Data | — | pgvector/pgvector:pg16, redis:7-alpine |
Postgres with pgvector for embeddings; Redis as the Celery broker. |
Quick start
For local development and testing, just:
docker compose up -d
# UI: http://localhost:8080
That uses sane dev defaults baked into docker-compose.yml and the dev
override (docker-compose.override.yml, auto-merged) — local builds, DEBUG
logging, exposed Postgres + Redis ports on the host. No .env required.
For a production-like deployment, override the dev defaults via shell env
or a .env file (see .env.example for the variable names) and use:
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
# (skips the override so containers pull registry images)
The GPU agent is deployed separately, on the machine with the card —
agent/docker-compose.yml, not this stack.
Deployment posture
FabledCurator is designed to run inside a self-hosted homelab environment over plain HTTP. If you want TLS, terminate it at your reverse proxy. The app does not generate certificates, redirect to HTTPS, or set HSTS.
CI / Forgejo setup
Four workflows: ci.yml (lint, extension-version check, backend unit tests,
frontend build, integration), extension.yml (extension lint, vitest, XPI
content verification), build.yml (sign + publish), and release.yml, which
runs only on a v* tag and publishes a changelog without building anything.
The toolchain each job runs in is its container.image, not its runs-on
label. runs-on: python-ci only schedules the job onto a runner; every job
then names the image it actually wants. ci-requirements.md is the current,
authoritative list of images and per-job installs — read that rather than a
copy here, so the two can't drift.
The repo expects one secret:
-
RELEASE_TOKEN— a Forgejo PAT with:write:package+read:package— fordocker pushtogit.fabledsword.comwrite:release— for theext-<version>releases that cache the signed XPIwrite:issue— for issue-management automation
Generate at https://git.fabledsword.com/user/settings/applications. The injected
GITHUB_TOKENcannot be used because it lackswrite:package.
AMO signing additionally needs MOZILLA_AMO_JWT_KEY / MOZILLA_AMO_JWT_SECRET.
It runs on both channels and is cached per version: because the version is
derived from commit time, dev and main derive the same number for the same
source, so main finds dev's signature already cached and makes no second AMO
call. That cache is why signing must be one-shot — AMO rejects a re-signed
version.
